BMW pulls a sneak preview for the new 2012 650i Convertible, which goes on sales early in 2011.
The much-anticipated L.A. Auto Show preview of the 2012 BMW 650i Convertible may have happened but no one seems to know where. Despite a press release suggesting the debut took place, the German maker didn’t show up on the media preview schedule, nor did it pull it off a surprise unveiling by, say, hijacking some other manufacturer’s timeslot.
That said, we’ve got the details and pictures of the 6-Series drop-top and are pleased to pass them along.

Set to launch next year as a 2012 model, the next-generation cabriolet is a decidedly cleaner and more elegant-looking offering than the old 6-er convertible. The basic dimensions are classic BMW, with the long hood, rear-set passenger compartment and muscular fenders. The vehicle is a bit larger than the outgoing convertible in most dimensions, the overall length, for example, growing 2.9 inches, to 192.6 inches.
